Vehicle Description
This is the hero car used in Chicago Fire TV series, driven by the
main character Taylor Kinney. It underwent a ground up restoration
by Mustang Restorations, they do a very thorough job. It is a real
J code 302 4 barrel car.
EXTERIOR: Absolutely gorgeous in Acapulco blue with the white C
stripe and chrome wheels on a fastback. The body is all metal and
absolutely clean. It is straight and fits tight. The paint is laid
out evenly and has a clear coat finish polished smooth. The door
jambs are detailed- smooth glossy paint, new weatherstrips and sill
plates, cleaned latches. All the chrome and trim has been replaced.
Up front it has the GT fog lamps, new grill and an optional Sprint
hood with the louvers and built in turn signals. All the stainless
trim around the windows have been replaced. New mirrors, door
handles, bumpers. In back the tail lights, emblems, GT gas cap and
splitter exhaust tips were replaced. The Magnum 500 wheels are a
bit wider and have a set of BFG tires.
INTERIOR: It is completely restored- carpet, upholstery headliner
etc. Features include fold down rear seat, tachometer in the dash,
deluxe door panels, reproduction floormats and upgraded stereo. The
dash area is restored with new chrome bezels and dash pad. The
details were not overlooked- interior lights work, new visors,
mirror etc.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It is like new. Not just spray canned but
actually apart and restored. Everything is tidy, has proper
finishes. The inner fenders and core support is a clean satin black
on clean metal. The jambs and bottom of hood are glossy blue. The
engine has a clean coat of Ford blue. Pulleys, hinges, brackets are
all refinished. Has very desirable J code 302 with 4 barrel carb.
Upgraded to an Edelbrock with electric choke. Has rebuilt
distributor. Hoses, belts, wires all look to be in excellent shape.
Yes, this is show quality under the hood of this car. Definitely
one we will display open.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: it's also restored like new inside the trunk.
All clean metal that's been painted blue. It has the plaid mat and
tire cover over the spare. Everything detailed out nicely, the
taillights look new, latches were cleaned, under side of the trunk
lid and then jamb is smooth glossy paint. New weatherstrip and
decals. Also includes a car cover.
UNDERSIDE: Very clean and proper. The metal is in excellent shape.
Has a nice coat of black undercoat. Exhaust and gas tank are a
clean silver color. The exhaust has mufflers and resonators. Front
end looks rebuilt- bushings, ball joints, shocks. Has air shocks in
back. Power steering components are replaced. Bottom of motor and
trans are spotless. Has disc brakes in front, e-brake is hooked
up.
I can testify from a lot of experience with Mustang Restorations
work, they do a very nice job making sure the car looks and
functions at a high level of quality. Someone will be getting a
very desirable, very attractive car. A little TV fame is a cool
bonus too. Included is a set of the fake license plates used in the
show and transcripts from the show.
